Maria should take charge more.

I think I was just too young to appreciate this book when I first got it. The descriptions are beautiful.

They're all so young and in the grip of their hormones.

I have a feeling Maria's plan/s will be better than Ubu's.

Once again, I'm shocked at how defeatable Ubu is. Just goes to show, strength and reflexes alone don't make you a fighter.

Ouch.

I thought Ubu would’ve been invincible against anyone with two arms. I suppose fighting isn’t primarily about strength.

A teenager bargaining for high stakes with a geriatric. Here, age really is just a number. Eleven-year-old Beautiful Maria is a fully grown woman, strolling around with a youth in his mid-teens. She and Ubu aren’t children. Their childhoods passed quickly. I like how clear Beautiful Maria is very about what she wants. She and Ubu may be young, but they’re not naive. They’ve grown up quickly, like animals.

Jesus Rice. Chinese whispers illustrated. Pun probably intended. I guess I just was ready for this book at fifteen. I find the writing quite beautiful now.

It’s WAY better this time around. I was too young to appreciate it at fifteen. For me, it has an eighties feel. Ubu and Beautiful Maria are so young. When I first read this, her name bugged me. I forgot how tall she was.
